Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Dairy Alternatives Market
The COVID-19 epidemic presented unheard-of difficulties for a number of industries, notably the food and beverage sector. Manufacturing companies' activities were disrupted by lockdowns, border restrictions, travel bans, factory closures, and other government-led safety protocols. Due to labour and raw material shortages brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, market shares of both small- and large-scale food and beverage producers in various regions were negatively impacted. However, following the COVID-19 outbreak, there was a huge change in consumer dietary choices, which greatly raised the market for dairy substitutes. The pandemic caused substantial changes in health and wellness trends, which helped the market for dairy alternatives expand since consumers now view plant-based dairy products as being healthier than traditional dairy products.
However, the market for dairy substitutes only saw modest development as a result of the economic crisis brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak and the high cost of plant-based dairy products. Additionally, the global market experienced tremendous growth in 2021 as a result of governments announcing a relaxation of regulations and allowing firms to operate at full capacity. The market was also bolstered by this reason as the supply networks and manufacturing levels improved. The COVID-19 epidemic raised consumer awareness of health issues. They are gravitating toward plant-based diets more and more because they think they provide better health benefits. The market for dairy substitutes is expanding as a result of this aspect.
